Abstract (en)

A method and system achieving the results of a conventional titration without the need to chemically dilute a sample. Such a result is accomplished by providing a plurality of calibration standards, each containing a different known concentration of a visualizable material. The visualizable material contained within each calibration standard is then visualized, the parameters of the visualization forming a setting. The visualization is then altered by adjusting at least one parameter of the visualization until the point where the visualizable material within each calibration standard can no longer be visualized within the solution. The visualizable material within a sample solution having an unknown concentration of the visualizable material is then visualized using settings corresponding to the plurality of calibration standards to generate a number of modified visualizations, each modified visualization corresponding to the concentration of the standard to which it relates. The modified visualization at which point the visualizable material can no longer be visualized is then correlated with the corresponding concentration, to determine the titration of the sample solution.
